Oh my, what a wild, wild year it's been. Let's recap some highlights:

1. The annointment of His Royal Majesty George II, appointed unelected Ruler of the United States by the governor of Florida (did not recieve the majority of popular vote either in the United States or in Florida, thus cannot be called a democratically-elected president), and his henchman Generallisimo Ashcroft, who never saw a section of the Bill of Rights that he liked.
2. The release of BRU-Pro 1.0, Enhanced Software Technology's first network backup product.
3. Accusations of being a shill for Three Letter Agencies by a particularly virulent group of spammers leads to a tenfold increase in the traffic coming to my site (thanks, guys, for advertising me!)
4. The near-completion of BRU-Pro 1.1 (which, incidentally, I hear is about to be released in finished form by the folks at the The TOLIS Group)
5. Me going to DISC in their NAS division and helping finish their web interface
6. The trip to Reavis Ranch in the Superstition Wilderness
7. Arrest of a Russian programmer for the crime of engaging in free speech (oh the horrors!)
8. Continued development of MTX
9. Moving to a new (larger) apartment on the edge of the desert preserves
10. New laptop.
11. The 'badtux' news link engine goes online
12. Dead people in New York City.
13. Dead people in Afghanistan.
14. Maintenance release of AESCrypt
15. New camera
16. Release of a Russian programmer so that he could go back to the Land of the Free (Russia, where apparently people have more freedoms than in the United States nowdays)
